  4.  @abcabc-hf6zl  The Budapest Memorandum prohibited the signatories from threatening or using military force or economic coercion against Ukraine, Belarus, and Kazakhstan (except in self-defense or otherwise in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations). In 2013, the government of Belarus complained that the US sanctions against it were in breach of Article 3 of the Memorandum. (Refrain from economic coercion designed to subordinate to their own interest the exercise by the signatory of the rights inherent in its sovereignty and thus to secure advantages of any kind.) Russia annexed Crimea in March 2014. Ukraine protested the action as a violation of Article 1 of the Budapest Memorandum. The Russians responded by saying that the 2014 coup is a change in circumstance ("a new state arises, but with this state and in respect to this state, we have not signed any obligatory documents"). Russia stated that it had never been under obligation to "force any part of Ukraine's civilian population to stay in Ukraine against its will". Russia claims that the US was in violation of the Budapest Memorandum and described the Euromaidan as a US-instigated coup. Russia argued that the US broke the third point of the agreement by introducing and threatening further sanctions against the democratically elected Yanukovych government. The memorandum was adopted in limited terms. The memorandum refers to assurances, but not guarantees. It does not impose a legal obligation of military assistance on its parties. The US publicly maintains that "the Memorandum is not legally binding", calling it a "political commitment". Hence, people should complain to the US.
